Case Study: Flatfile achieves secure, reliable Kubernetes governance with Fairwinds Insights

Flatfile Uses Fairwinds Insights to Validate Kubernetes Configuration

Flatfile, a company that provides AI-assisted data onboarding, needed a standardized solution to validate and audit configurations for its Kubernetes clusters. This was especially critical for its on-prem product to ensure reliability and have a baseline for reviewing any customer changes. They turned to the vendor Fairwinds and its product, Fairwinds Insights, for a solution.

The solution was Fairwinds Insights, a policy-driven SaaS platform that automates Kubernetes security and configuration validation. Fairwinds' software integrated into Flatfile's CI/CD pipelines and clusters, allowing them to scan for vulnerabilities, proactively prevent errors, and ensure application reliability. This enabled Flatfile to scale its SaaS infrastructure efficiently and maintain the reliability of its multi-region clusters with less manual effort, helping to avoid potential downtime for their customers.
